 Dear Reader,
Until she moved to stay with her daughter, none of us really knew the extent of the damage that Alzheimer's had done to a beloved family member. Before her arrival, part of her daughter's house was converted into an apartment. We all thought she just needed some help getting around.
In almost no time at all, it became clear that wasn't the case. Her daughter couldn't provide the right kind of care, and she moved in to a nursing home specifically for people suffering from Alzheimer's and dementia.
Going to visit her, having to remind her who I was, hearing the stories she was convinced were true but we all knew weren't (like special agents and dead relatives visiting her room)... it was, obviously, a pretty rough time.
I'm telling you about this because I understand how terrifying the thought of Alzheimer's is. And I understand that you want to hear about every bit of news on possible ways to prevent it.
Well, today you're getting two.
First up is a compound that's already been in the e-Tips this week. Yep, it's a good week for resveratrol. Research at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, in the US, shows that resveratrol could in fact neutralize the effects of particular peptide isoforms, toxic proteins that are linked to Alzheimer's disease.
What does this mean? Deformed peptides have been found collected in the brain plaques that are found near areas of cell death in the brains of people with Alzheimer's. Resveratrol seems to be able to target those peptides without affecting normal, healthy ones — even the ones that, by a variety of other tests, are virtually indistinguishable from toxic peptide arrangements.
Now, the researchers aren't certain that resveratrol can cross the blood-brain barrier. If it can, though, this means it could be a serious weapon in the arsenal against Alzheimer's. And it has so many other health benefits that it should probably be part of your daily diet anyway.
If you're concerned about cognitive decline, you might want to pick up some vitamin D along with that resveratrol. A study based at Tufts University in Boston, in the US, looked at the effects of vitamin D on 1,000 people between the ages of 65 and 99.
Only 35 per cent of the people had sufficient vitamin D levels, but they were the ones who had the best cognitive performance on a variety of tests. Now, you probably didn't need yet another reason to take vitamin D, but there — you got one anyway.

The mystery of puffy hands
Q: Recently, the backs of my hands have started looking oddly puffy and swollen. What could be causing this?
Dr. Jonathan V. Wright: While I can't say for sure without examining your hands (and you should consider having this done by a doctor skilled in natural medicine), a Texas doctor, John Ellis, discovered years ago that many conditions involving the hands may be alleviated with vitamin B6.
The first thing to do is look for "Ellis signs" in your hands. Try holding your hands upright, keeping the joints joining your palms and fingers perfectly straight. Now try bending the middle and end joints so that your fingertips touch your palms. If you can't do it, it's a positive "Ellis sign," which could indicate a need for extra vitamin B6.
You may want to consider taking 100 milligrams of vitamin B6 three times daily for up to six months, or until all the puffiness and the "Ellis sign" is gone, and your hands are more flexible. And, if you're interested, you can try to find an old copy of Dr. Ellis's book The Doctor Who Looked at Hands at the library or on the Internet.
Bear in mind we are not addressing anyone's personal situation and you should rely on this for informational purposes only. Please consult with your own doctor before acting on any recommendations contained herein.
Wishing you the best of health,
Andrew Miller
